Deep inside him, Hotep wished to protest. Satriya was a holy nation, defended by powerful gods, and were most suited then to safeguard this blessing. He did not know these other nations. But Ra laid affliction on the sands of Skyspear, and they traveled now with no land to propagate such a blessing. More than that, had not these same gods brought so many here to find their blessing? Did they not speak in dreams to more than Pharaoh's faithful?
Perhaps Hotep should trust what had been laid plainly before his feet. After a moment of consideration, he supplied,
I do not know of these lands. Yet you speak wisdom. Perhaps they should be divided — two to the Vale, and two to Camhanaich. Let one stay with my people in Satriya, the seat of Mighty Pharaoh Khaemwaset, the Great Bull who Protects, Heir of Horus, and Divine Queen Merneith, Opener of Ways and Bringer of Light, in safekeeping. If blight destroys one crop, the other may endure, and a seed will be saved then to go where it is most needed if the plague that so afflicts us all raises strength to challenge us.
I love IC spontaneity & drama! So if it's what your character would do, let 'em attempt it!
